Beast Games — MrBeast’s official crossover from YouTube to reality television — aired the final episode of its first season on Amazon Prime Video yesterday, handing out an eye-watering $10 million to one lucky contestant.
The show, which pitted 1,000 people against each other in a series of intense mental and physical challenges, has been an absolute smash-hit — and a big part of its appeal has been its massive prize pool.
Although the winner, Jeff Allen who competed as Player 831, took home a hair over $10 million home, MrBeast has now revealed the full amount given out throughout the season totaled a bit over $25 million.
Let’s do some math.
Here’s How Much Money MrBeast Gave Away On Beast Games
Although the grand prize was $10 million, Allen actually pocketed an additional $4,042 in challenges across the full stretch of the season.
